Nokia 6260 slide - User Reviews

  • This is the absolute BEST Nokia Series 40 phone to have EVER been released!

  • I have this mobile but its central (scroll) key is broken any body help me its parts repair

  • Oh my gosh I need this phone but I can't find it on Ebay!!!

  • no google chrome install for mobile me.

  • no google chrome install for mobile me.

  • Dear all, can someone tell me is there front side camera available or not in Nokia 6260 slide mobile ?

  • i have nokia 6062 slide. it was working front side camera before but i can not use front side camera can someone tell me what is the reason ?

  • Thanks for your reply man. That's great. Thank you.

  • Hi, well i own this phone since about 5 months and i can say it's quite awesome if you like phones with buttons instead touchscreen. To answer your questions: 1: No it doesn't show your messages in a cue like skype or other chats. For this consider eg. Blackberry Pearl 9500 or Android Phones. 2: Yes you can charge it via USB but it won't get over 40% Battery charge. I'm not sure if it works when it is switched off. But i recommend buying the USB car charger with the dual USB output from Nokia. There is just one big disadvantage that i noticed: the connector for the headphones is not really built for much movement. When you have it in you Jeans-pockets it will loos connection quite often and you can't use different models than from nokia (reversed cable polarity). It's better to úse the bluetooth headset. BR christian

  • Hey there. I had a few questions about the device - if anyone can answer, that would be heaps appreciated - 1. Does this phone support 'threaded message' view (eg. conversation view), or are texts only able to be viewed individually? 2. Does this phone support charging via the USB port? I've read that it has but wanted to be sure. Many thanks.

  • At begining phone seemed to be awesome but as time passed (2012) the condition of the phone is like throwing it into the garbage .because the phone suddenly started showing blank outs for almost 1 or 2 mins then automatically becomes alright and this use to mostly during a call or hearing music, browsing net but after somedays started going off then i changed the battery and still it was the same as before , then i gave for repairing after repare it was okay for a week then same synmts showed back again .if it was a china made then i could be understood but its orignal made by nokia .. the phone truely it has all the features that i really want and is reallly good but due to these stupid problem i'ad to replace it by buyin new phone . but i feel i'd done a stupidity buying it for I'd to change it aftr some time..........

  • Nokia 6260 is best modal for the new gen it is comfortable and poartable with every featers

  • this is 2 nice but 2.5 m.m. jack will limited the third party applications.

  • This phone is awesome when it works. It's less than 1 year and it has died completely. Have arranged for it to be repaird under warranty. Be warned, the build quality is not good. The phone fell from the table because it was ringing and vibrating and the screen cracked! (pretty flimsy). It lost all my contacts (so make sure you back up!). When you're browing the net, it frequently 'blanks out'. Pretty disappointed. This is the first Nokia that has given me so many problems. Have been a Nokia user since the very beginning.

  • this mobile is best

  • Please GSMArena! Review this phone

  • where is the review?

  • Could anyone find the themes for this phone? I can use another S40 phone, but all of them are 240x320, so the images will be stretched.. This phone is the only S40 phone with 320x480.. Thanks, please email me if any.. [email protected]

  • I have always been wanting on this phone. I love the series 40 OS, its very friendly, fast, and when I heard of this phone that it packed with wi-fi, Since then i've been luking forward to hit it the philippine shore but it never did. When would n0kia, release a succesor for this one on my country.

  • you can use the built in VoIP functinality with SIP VoIP providers. Just follow the instructions here:

  • i buy today frm dubai but this phone can support eny voip call softwear like opal,mubeestar pls specify me

  • such a great model i like it....! clour is so attractive

  • Seems like a good phone

  • Please! GSMArena, this phone is worth your review! We all know it doesn't have multitasking or even a document viewer & it has cheap plastic build but if you're a nokia fan, this is one of the best from them. My Nokia 6700 Classic doesn't have a WiFi like this one has but at least its slim design & metal outfit make up for that. Advantages: --5 megapixel Carl Zeiss autofocus camera + dual led flash with excellent image quality --320x480 HVGA 16M color screeen resolution --WiFi, 3G and secondary video call camera --Series 40, 6th Edition UI --Built-in GPS receiver --Bluetooth (with A2DP) and microUSB port Disadvantages: --Cheap plastic buid --Xenon flash would have been more than appreciated --Series 40 feels clunky & out of date --Memory card under the battery cover --No multi-tasking & Office document viewer --Only 2.5" audio jack --No TV out support --Mediocre video quality This phone has been released for over a year now. We look forward for an upgrade that has an 8MP camera with xenon flash

  • Chapter # 3 Hi, I fix the problem ,know all the phone is working OK, is nice and easy, but so many steps to go online, and the GPS is not for free .... :-( but work ok with google maps. But the guy how write before is right no suport from nokia customer care. I you already have it, ok, but if you are thinking buy one, better go for another model or brand.

( the camera is 5 mega pixle-the screen has 16m colors-it supports mp3 ringtones-wifi & bluetooth are available ... ) But ... It doesn't have much programs and themes on the web. And it's not a smart phone like the Nseries for example.

  • I forgot to say thanks to karim & the anonymous one Thank u both Bye

  • To update the software ... First you need to have the USB cable that connects ur phone with the computer, then u've to download the NOKIA SOFTWARE UPDATER from nokia website. I don't know if GSMARENA allows this but here's the link to download the updater After downloading and installing the program, connect ur phone with the computer ... start the program ... and it'll give u the instructions that u need to follow. Unfortunately the phone doesn't support .sis files even if it's up-to-date. a VIP note: just in case ... backup everything u have on ur phone ... even the contacts numbers. Some themes change the tones that u chose, so it's better to use the original nokia themes or download them from good websites like ownskin or zedge, u can also download any .nth themes for other phones like 5610 xpressmusic and use them for ur 6260 slide. I wish this could help u

  • dont change the theme

  • Hello how did you upgrade the phone's software? From where do i get the update? How can I know the version of my phone? After the upgrade of your phone, are you able now to download (.sis) files format? Please reply Thx

  • Thanks The problem is solved and everything is OK now alhamdullah. I've updated the software and the mobile is working really well now Good Luck everyone

  • Hello, I would be also interested in buying one of this. Dear GsmArena, please get one from Nokia for a review there are so many readers interested in an objective description. I like your reviews! Deni

I've tried some ways that I thought will work like making my own profile, and transferring the tones I want from the memory card to the phone memory ... but all this didn't help =( If anyone faced the same problem and has an answer ... plz help Thanx Alot

  • Could you turn off the shutter sound when you take a pic?

  • i have question java software and game 240*320 run this phone perfectly

  • Does anybody know if this phone has an audio jack?

  • can i know it's price?

  • i've this phone. most functions are ok. but it's camera zoom can be available only 2 steps. it's not good. and it's camera quality is not as good as N-series even they are the same type of camera.

  • No review yet i dont know what? pleas give me information a bout this phone how build quality how the camera and loud speaker how call quality and audio quality

  • Nokia's running down the drains!

  • i dont know? get it or not..plz tell me.....i really need a mobile

  • nice

  • Without symbian... good screen!

  • I have the phone since June, I take every day, and listen to music, and I charge the phone every 3 days, so the battery is great, I have no problem with the green and red button , in the beginning is a little bit hard to get use with them but after a wile the are ok., poor audio, what ?? sorry I think ur phone is faulty , my nokia 6260 slide has superb sound , I use the player a lot and is laud and clear , and the loud speaker is greet I use it in my car wile I am driving as a hands free

  • The very respectable and 'advertised' Nokia 6260 slide BATTERY TALK TIME is certainly not 6 hours as supposed! I have to charge every day too even after only 20-30 mins daily talk time :(

  • In addition, main buttons (the green and red!) are so small and impractical. Does newer technology mean less practicality and common sense?

  • Poor audio unfortunately, sounds like a cheap radio (as opposed to my previous Nokia 6233 which had superb stereo sound). The 6260 slide is listed as having stereo sound so i cannot understand how on 3 diff handsets the audio on music for example sounds so distorted and poor. With previous Nokias, no problems, with the 6260 i have had a myriad of problems :(

  • Can u tell me from were u have it

  • Great fone. Specs r great but i would like to know that does this fone has PTT feature. N plz post the review of the fone soon.thnx

  • Hey T, Can you elaborate a bit more on the camera quality of this phone please? Also, do most java games appear full screen or just on one side of the screen because of the screen being a HGVA one? Thanks

  • Amazing Phone.... Got it few weeks ago and last night i have upgraded the new software version of the phone and got the NEW Windows Live Messenger.... Amazing... You can even send voice clips throught the messenger...

  • Sir can you inform me how about java games? can play them because it has 320x480 screen but the java games are 240 x 320

  • hw mch s ds n phlppines?

  • what about cpu type? n speed?

  • Is there anyway to set a screensaver? On startup it displays date and time which goes off after a few seconds. Can't find a way to enable the screensaver.

  • from what i see this phone is very different than my original 6260

  • just bought it 3 days ago.i think its ok but the problem comes with texting.it has small keypads that makes me press the wrong keys!so if you have big fingers,i suggest dont get his one.

  • they are all really different... if you want a good camera then immediatly rule out the sony ericsson. its camera is crap. then its down the whether u want a bar phone or a slider phone... easy as that

  • that`s y u were facing prob u were trying to run s40 themes on s60 cell phone ? sir N80 runs on s60

  • can anyone help. whether i shal go for 6260slide or n79 or w705....????/ plz reply

  • N80 is a smart phone but this set is running on s40

  • Yes, it does make it more difficult to find themes. I'm using a Nokia N80, 352 x 416 pixels, and normal themes won't work on the phone.

  • I experienced problems with this phone (firmware v 04.36): - When accessing bluetooth menu, the phone hangs for about 2-3 seconds. And then (luckily) resumes normaly. - The phone cannot finished back up process via pc suit application (usually hangs near completion). - There's no setting for display time out (though sometimes the 'time out watch' displayed randomly). Anybody has the same problem here?

  • according to my knowledge themes are not depended on the size of the screen :) so dont worry abt that

  • Wouldn't it be harder to find games and themes for this phone? since it has 320x480 pixels and not 240x320 like other models?

  • one more thing , you you can charge it through the usb.

  • Hi ,i don't think this is possible on this phone,nokia 6260 slide, any way if you explain to me haw to set the phone on the automatic email check i can do it and let you now what happened

  • Hi , i used the camera like 10 times, but one time it sowed Sim registration failed, but i turne the cell off and on and it was OK , i hope i will not have this problem many times

  • I currently have a Nokia E65. I set the device up to connect to 802.11b/g networks when available and check my email every 30 minutes. However it has one very annoying quirk! Occasionally when the phone was trying to check my email it would fail, and DISABLE the automatic email check! I think it would do this when it was trying to check and I then left the 802.11b/g signal area. This defeats the purpose as I then have to manually check it to make sure it's checking for new emails next time I enter a 802.11b/g area. So my question is - has anyone who has used this phone experienced this? I was thinking of upgrading to the Nokia 6260 slide for the GPS feature and its small form factor, but I'd hate for it to have this quirk as well.

  • i wana buy nokia phone but iam confused between this one and nokia 5800... can any body advice me which one to take....................??11

  • i heard abt the problem in 6260 slide that is when u activate the camera and while using it it shows some error regarding sim is it true?

  • i heard it can't connect to a public hotspot coz it doesn't support tabbed browser interface, (because to authorize they require you to click on a pop-up window). is tht true?

  • which OS system is it having?????is this better than n81?????is this phone having software problem or anything like that?????is this better in perfomance than n81 nd 5800

  • What is the processor, clock speed ? what is the RAM, ROM size ?

  • does this phone support large size of PDF file ? how much is the price of the phone ? I like S40 more than S60, for wallpaper. but, is S60 better than S40 ?

  • im using a MOMAX BL-5F battery for the 6260 and it last for about 4-5 days with 3g,calls,music...These battery are awesome but expensive to buy.

  • Hi, My battery only last for one day. I dont use 3G, no music, no animations,no camera...just few calls and sms.. any ideas...? I charge it properly for the first few times and now i am charging it normally...but almost every night...

  • It is a good phone as it has many functions.zahid gsc

  • Can anyone tell me tat the modem function how to use???? Is the modem function original on the phone or need to install ouurself

  • it's reallygood mobile . i like it

  • can someone tell me where can I buy this phone here in the Philippines. Huhu I really like this phone.

  • it is amazing

  • why would anyone ask about LG in Nokia forum? nearly all who ever owns a LG hates it almost immediately, myself included. try the LG touch screen phone, its the worst ever, sluggish and sticky. besides this Nokia 6260 has 5 mp Carl Zeiss camera. Nokia may be slow in catching up with the rest but they make sure they iron out any issues before releasing it.

  • Same here, I like S40 a lot.

  • the n81 would be better and is still avaailable a poster below said its not available IT IS AVAILABLE

  • Hi Sos, I don't know anything about LG phones, never had one before. However, the best would be to wait for the 6700, I think it'll be better build. Regards, Khateeb

  • you can't compare those..compare smartphone with smartphone n 5mp with 5 mp..if i were you i would choose n81 because of the symbian..but recently n81 (ordinary) hadn't been produced anymore..if you wanna have 5 mp with symbian n slider form may be g810 could be another option..if you like candybar form choose n79..

  • he design is look alike 6600s..why did nokia create new design same like n81,n85 n n96..where's the creative team??why is this mobile launched in indonesia??or may be it hasn't yet..

  • the design is look alike 6600s..why didn't nokia create new design same like n81,n85 n n96..where's the cretive team??why is this mobile launched in indonesia??or may be it hasn't yet..

  • is this released in UK yet?

  • You're absolutely right! Another thing I like with S40 is the home screen layout for wallpapers and screensavers; with S40 all text appear behind the wallpaper which fills the entire screen while it only appears partially on S60, leaving the large annoying space on top of the screen, the top bar for signal and battery. So this is by far the best S40 or rather the best Nokia I would love to own especially for the document viewer, a first for an S40, just what I've been asking them in my posts @ Forum Nokia. I own the 6234 which I upgraded from S40 v3 to v5 last year via the internet and the 6260 will be my next upgrade. No N or E-Series for me. For smartphones I like WinMo.

  • im thinking of buying ths phone but i really drop my phones a lot so im a bit worried cz its slide:P anyone who has this phone happens to drop it a lot? :P ni heard something abt how its anooying to text cz of the letters:O is that true?? cz i text mostly on my cell !!

  • my advice to u is to get it from www.cells4u.com =)

  • its amazing mobile for 1 who everything in fone,,,,,,i would like to go wid it for next 1year.....................m lovin it

  • Hi, I am planning to buy this on late may. But I am still confused what Nokia unit to buy, N81 or 6260 slide? Which is better?

  • what about LG mobile ?? yesterday i was checking this mobile,, its really seems liek a game and shape of plastic ??? i dunno why they didnot re-think about the assembly ?? why like that ?? i shift my mind t another mobile which is LG kc910i-00 ... what do you think about it ,, about the LG machine ,, i havenot used this LG features and i donot know if its gonna be better than Nokia or not ?? can you reply please?

  • Hi All, I bought the phone, at last. However, I was disappointed!! Features and performance wise, the phone is OK. I would rate it 8 out of 10. Camera for still shots is perfect with Average quality mediocre 15 frame/second QVGA video. Awesome 240*320 Display. However, The worst thing about it is the build!!! Plastic!!! It has a strange fingerprint-prone cheap looking front. It's all in plastic except for the back cover that is aluminum. Moreover, The assembly is noticeably poor. You can notice a mellimeter gap here and there. Specifically in the Keypad. If it is lit, you can see the light coming from the lower gap between the keypad and the plastic frame it is embedded in!!! Not to mention the annoying plastic ticks sound you get when you use the D-pad or any other key. A strange thing as well is that you can not rotate the screen in important applications like office products and internet browser! I don't want to be offensive. However, i am starting to feel that Nokia Chinese products do not go through the thorough QA Process Finnish products go through. A simple comparison between the 6260 and the famous 6300 would give you that feeling. Khateeb.

  • Hi Fahad, It depends on your requirements from any mobile set you use. If messaging is no.1 usage, then probably you'll need the features the S40 provide. Otherwise, as I said, the S60 is a Powerful multi-tasking Operating system. Regards, Khateeb

  • superb mobile with 10.2 hsdpa i can reach 850kBs download speed in 3.5g network

  • Why there is no review for this phone in GSM Arena yet ?? I hope that GSM Arena will post their review for this phone. I give high expectation on Nokia 6260 Slide for non S60 users. Thanks.

  • Still S60 is better than s40. i used both, than i fall in love with s60. and i will never buy s40 phone right before i use s60. s60 software and games also better and much easier to find in net too.

  • This is the Top Notch S40 Release 6 mobile. The first from nokia to be equipped with this operating system and having wifi. S40 Operating systems have a lot above S60 in general. Much more user friendly and natural rational menus. Of course S60 has multitasking and is usually installed on a much better processor. However, S40 preponderates S60 in the following: 1. The time is only visible on the home screen of S60, this isn�t the case with S40 where the time is everywhere. 2. You get a preview of the themes in S40 when scrolling by them, they don�t appear in S60 unless you preview them. 3. S40 lets you record your phone calls out of the box, you need third party tools to do this in S60. 4. S40 has this menu view where you don�t have to bury to find features. It is similar to the menu system on a Sony PSP. 5. The calender on S40 blows S60 out the water. You can set call reminders, there is more information visible in the month view and it takes fewer clicks to add information. 6. In S40 Profiles are timed, and you don't have to exit the profiles menu to activate the profile like in S60. 7. The standby screen on S60 has a limited number of icons on top and very little calendar information compared to S40 which has no such limit on the number of shortcuts and has a rich calender view. 8. Ability to insert a contact detail in a message in S40. S60 doesn't have that. 9. S40 Log will allow you to view all calls in one log with the option to see Incoming, outgoing and missing separately. S60 has the separate views only. 10. S40 has the ability to let you send a text message to the most recent people you�ve already sent a text message to. S60 does not have this.

  • I just bought the se and I been using the mobile for the last couple of days.All I can say that its a superb mobile.Its picture qualitu is really impressive.Though the sensative navi wheel is really troubling for the first time user.But all I can say is if anyone is looking for a camera phone, he can go for it.Sound quality is good enough.Supports a wide range of music formats.

  • Hai May i know the indial Rs Rate ......

  • I bought this phone to slightly upgrade from the 6600 slide.Got it finally...but getting rid of it.Nice phone over all but..the navi key is very sensitive and the side keys (beside the navi key) are very not sensitive.The keypad feels like microvawe keys..just too plasticy.otherwise its a great phone but holding onto my 6600 slide because of the lesser dimentions and i can live without wifi.(Who keeps a router open these days anyway???)

  • Really Super HS Because all features had that mobile...........

  • Great specs but absolutely wasted on S40. The large screen, GPS, HSDPA, HSUPA and user available Wi-Fi are brand new features for any S40 handset and the HSD/UPA speed surpasses any S60 handset. This is also the first Nokia with this screen resolution. Apart from the badly chosen OS it is a good phone.

  • Made in China...most of them...

  • it's made in china

  • When will put reviw ?

  • Will it be out in malaysia?

  • Regional Availability: HONG KONG Middle East North Africa SEAP TAIWAN, PROVINCE OF CHINA Sorry for caps, was directly copied from the link above. It doesnt state Europe? :( I was waiting for this phone for agggggggggeeeeees!

  • It is made in Antarctica. It would cost you around 7654$ plus transporting taxes! I hope you buy it!

  • what loud speaker and camera?

  • going to get this phone...

  • perhaps N85 will the best choice...but if you want S40,this is the best choice..

  • i gave my N81gb to a very closed person to me, now i'm looking for a phone which is a litle bit the same as my N81. do you think that this 6260 satisty me? Thanks..........

  • nokia says it supports HSUPA up to 2 mbps and also it supports triband frequencies on UMTS (900/1900/2100). I think the plone characteristics on gsmarena need an updat.

  • no review yet?

  • on ebay it's like near 400$

  • cells4u.com has it. I checked on other websites but their tooo expensive. I think Cells4U has it for a better price and it looks like a cool website to order a phone.

  • this phone cost 16,500-18,000 php, rarely available in the philippines... good luck if you find the original ones

  • Can anybody tell me whether it is "Made in Korea", or "Made In Hungary", or "Made in China"?

  • s40

  • What OS it uses? s40 or s60? BTW this display it's really great

  • dunno what to make of this bad boy, would have to have a play round with it before judgeing

  • People slagged the 6220 Classic down,but i thought it was a Superb Camera mobile,now the 6260 Slide is avaiable i will be searching around now to get one of these mobiles,an a Very good idea from Nokia as it will be not expensive as there "N" series mobiles

  • is the music sound this phone like 6233 or no

  • hey I just bought it in Singapore last week & I feel it's a very good phone. The sliding is very smooth & feel good as well. All in all it's a good buy....

  • Available in Lebanon for $450.

  • sounds pretty good. it's like a dream phone. i wanna buy this phone!

  • nice model

  • good! it suits me!

  • If you read the spec's.. Poor Battery 5mp cam but poor 15fps video recording

  • i can't buy it in Slovenia! its not here! they don't sell it in Slovenia! :(

  • You can compare the features and choose the one you need. S8300 is better in terms of form factor, looks more solid. Don't forget the touchscreen. 6260 is more all-rounder, with Symbian O/S. It pretty much depend on your need, taste, and impression for both brand. Remember, no phone is perfect... Happy buying !

  • I think it's already very cheap compared to what you get. And I am actually waiting for the black one.

  • i think you wait until next year, the price of this phone still haven't drop... BAKA!

  • yes its available in uae at the price of 1700 aed

  • yessssssss! waited a superlong time... now gotta wait for the price to fall HAHAH

  • Hi its available here in Bahrain but only the black one (so far) it costs around $350.. I'm waiting for the beige one - and for the price to go down lol :p

  • When will this phone hit the Philippine shores? Second quarter is fast approaching. I'm chosing between Nokia 6260 and Samsung S8300, what do u think is the best buy, i.e. really worth ur money. Hope Nokia has a phone simulator just like what SE offers on their website.

  • is this phone available in the Philippines(Baguio)?? thnx

  • NOKIA 6260 NOW available in the market

  • this is a stylish phone !! show u all some real photo !!

  • "Announced 2008, November Status Coming soon. Exp. release 2009, Q1" I`m expecting yet...

  • such a nice phone, and i really want to have my own,.

  • I wish this was coming to the US... especially to AT&T...

  • this is a great phone 4 young pepz plz lower down prices though!!1!

  • I carry this phone as a proto for a few months now. (I work for Nokia in Europe). It's one of the best Series 40 phones I've worked with in many years. Upgraded hardware features and a very sleek design. Tried and true Nokia UI, Open Source browser (same browser core as Safari). The 4 way scroll is force sensitive mainly for use in the browser (moving the cursor) oh, did I forget to mention the cursor? and the 4 way scroll is also used for the GPS maps. You have to subscribe to GPS. Nokia now owns Navteq so if I understand it correctly you pay Nokia the subscription fee for GPS (not your carrier). The phone contains a 5 mega pixel camera. In my experience it shoots very nice photos. I do not know (and if I did I could not reveal) the carrier/country that will carry this phone. I think Nokia should market this phone aggressively. I give this phone a 10 in design, an 8 in features (because I wish it had touch screen and orientation sensitive UI, and a 10 in performance because the performance is fantastic and that includes the battery life with WIFI active but not bluetooth. I'm starting to sound like a bon-a-fide reviewer.

  • heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy were is this phone ..... , not exist

  • when it wll b realsed

  • Rupees

  • what is rs

  • beautiful

  • the price is around RS 20000

  • What is the price for this phone?

  • Yes...it will still work for Europe.

  • So, if it is only going to be released in Asia, will it still work in Europe? For example UK networks? -worried-

  • This phone is 100% REAL. The reason why this isn't seen on any of the Nokia Europe websites, is because it is an Asia & Asian Pacific only release. Why???...who knows?? I really can't believe that this great S40 flagship will only be released in Asia & surrounding countries. Nevertheless, it will still be for sale on Ebay, & other web retailers.

  • Thats rubbish that s40 are slower than s60. Once a s60 phone starts getting applications downloaded on to it there really slow to respond compared to s40 which are alot quicker!!!

  • tats d fon i have been waitin for!!!

  • This phone is not listed on Nokia site against 6700classic which was introduced much later. I afraid that this is only "teaser". To many wonderful specs and S40 it is not possible! Not in Nokia world!

  • This is the nokia slider phone i've been waiting for. Specs indeed are quite heavy weight & within my expectation. Series 40 although is simple & easy-to-use, i think it is much faster compared to series 60. Hopefully it will be release before March this year... :)

  • Please be trueeeeeee

  • Expected Arrival Date:Feb.16,2009. I ve just seen this somewhere.

  • i dont think that S40 phones are slower than S60 because they have to boot less of the programs inside the phone for start up and all....although if you talk in terms of multi tasking then only S60 are better. Otherwise for simple calling, music, and games....S40 is what u need. They have lesser problems as compared to S60 phones.

  • The map data is installed on the phone. The GPS receiver in the phone communicates directly with the GPS satellite and tells the phone what your position on the map is - no internet conection req'd.

  • it doesnt seem like the phone is cancelled, but its highly unlikely that it will be released in north america soon.... can anyone give a clearer explanation of the google maps thing? do you have to be hooked up to the internet to be able to use the GPS? or are the maps just downloaded into the phone and can be used from there?

  • Yes it is s40.

  • is this phone an s4O?pls reply

  • I have heard this phone has been cancelled. Can anyone verify this?

  • Buddy...Just look at 6131..it's really fast.. faster than ur N Series Phones

  • Looks & Specifications are appealing but can only be justified after knowing the price and performance of the device. Anyway I am looking forward for the release...

  • been shocked by NOKIA go to NOKIA/press there n see a device called 6700Classic 1st time see you will think it just a basic simple phone , but turn to the back, there is a 5MP camera without carzl zeiss optic/tessar lens =_=

  • its gud ac2uali gud,as a matter af fact 8s the fact thats matter,ryt?mga ulholl!kau!

  • S40 phones will not have a good lagging-less HTML browser either. Being a nokia fan I suggest to go for N85, N79

  • I strongly suggest not to go for an S40 phone. It doesn,t have (m)any good applications and particularly this phone which is having a different resolution is not going to have apps. Next thing is S40 phones are slower, I can't name an S40 phone which is very responsive

  • i think this is a good model. but i cant use the phone but features are very good

  • i think you have iphone so you talk like that ,,but there are a lot of people with them iphone and didn't like it ,,it doesn't mean that i like this one because no one know about 6260 very well it's a new phone ,,and also everybody can post them opinion here ,i can post what i want.i don't care about you.you have to compare between phones before you talk first.

  • totally agree! what a waste that it's not s60, but i want one

  • look wise its a good handset........

  • why not a S60 ? what a waste,,,

  • Looks like a great phone

  • I think if u read the features well then maybe u would nt be asking if the fone is nice. it is not out yet meaning nobody knws if it is nice or not

  • if you compair this phone with Iphoen then you know nothing about phone. You should not be alowed post your openion on this page.

  • im planning 2 buy this phone next month..sO i wnt to know if it is nice??...

  • Iphone doesn't have a blutooth,and it's cam is 2 pixel ,,not this is 5 migapixcel

  • does it have push to talk?

  • what model is the battery of N95 and E71?? I'm planning to buy this phone next month... for now i'm doing some research about this phone...

  • iPhone is the best!!!!

  • I believe this phone is a lot like the 6220 and the 6210 personally the lack of features comparing to those two models is weird due to the pricetag it would obtain personally I wouldn't wait on the phone go for 6210 3.2 mega-pixel camera yet uses symbian and has a gps or 6220 has a 5 megapixel camera and is easier to use but I am an iPhone man typing this review on my iPhone :)

  • Personally, it reminds me of the 6265i, I used to have. I miss that phone. Mostly because it's a slider but also because it shares a lot of the same features, only improved. Granted, the physique of the 6260 looks somewhat cheap, I would still like to see how it does and would like to see it come with a battery that does better than the 6265. Cause, even though it rocked in the 6265i, I'm sure the 6260's strength would kill it. So, all-in-all, I'm anxious to see how this phone does. And even more anxious to see if Cellular South gets it. I hope so. Cause everything else they have is crappy. Only improvements I can see are that the phone's frame and body should be more sound and simple, yet sleek and sophisticated. And if the battery isn't nearly as good as the specs say it is, and it's actually a very bad battery for this phone, then it should be improved, as well.

  • This isnt camera phone or smartphone to have additionally xenon. How many phones have xenon anyway? N82 and few other. Persnally for me this maybe the perfect phone to date with compact size, better resolution, and first nokia with HSUPA for high uplink bandwidth and lowest latency for internet. The only thing I miss is at least 2.6" screen and 3.5 audio as imroovement from my n73 for movies, inet browsing and music. So cant wait for this phone.

  • It is worse than 6220classic because of the lack of Symbian and Xenon flash.

  • This seems to be the 6220 classic slider version. The same back and features and unfortunately the same cheap plastic in the keyboard I presume.

  • Maybe you're right, Bl-5F isn't a very powerful battery but N96 is a power hungry device. Don't compare it with 6260slide cause the last one has fewer functions, smaller display and lacks Symbian so needs much less power. I think the battery will be ok for this phone. By the way I think Bl-5F is a good battery, a friend has an E65 eith that battery and it lasts 3 days and he texts a lot of SMS plus some talks and photos

  • would wish to b the forst to use it in kenya (East Africa) jambo Nokia - Karibu Safari africa

  • Hoo. This is very good mobile phone. It is many functions, and by the review it is very loud speakers. Go Nokia! ! !

  • Hi guys, just a note of extreme caution regarding this phone. I am a Nokia fanatic and am seriously brand loyal to them. I have used other brands too (Sony Ericsson, Moto, Samsung etc). However I would advise anybody getting this phone as it uses the same battery as the Nokia N96 - Li-Ion 950 mAh (BL-5F)-. I have a Nokia N96 which is an excellent phone but the battery is poor requiring charging on a daily basis. This is not good enough. I had a Nokia N95 8 gig before and this was an excellent phone with a superb battery. I charged it once every 4 days. To conclude, avoid the N96, this phone Nokia 6260 and any Nokia phone with a 950 BL - 5F battery. This is Nokias worse battery. All the others are okay. No other battery will fit my N96 so I'll get rid of the phone within the next two weeks. Maybe I'll get an E71 which has a tremendous battery. You have been warned.

  • Nokia phones have great features. However, the design is horrible and is something Nokia really needs to work on.

  • Is the phone already out?

  • I dont like it. Looks cheap.

  • nice unit i like it brand nokai i wish i want to buy it im only asking how much cost

  • Very good comment!

  • hello dear h r u?i intersed phone pls u told the price.i will wiar ur mail.

  • lol...the design not so good lar, but if i hav it, i m so grateful liao!!!

  • I do agree with you on that one. Had Nokia put these specs in something similar to the 6500 Slide, it woulda been a beautiful handset.

  • mobile-review.com - english version of review:

  • I Prefer SE's UI, i was waiting for a Nokia with these kinda features but i dont like the S40 user-interface.. so il stick with Sony Ericsson.

  • i think it is the best!!!unfortunerly,it's not a smart phone!!

  • A touchscreen version of this specs sheet is something to really brag about. Knowing Nokia as a massive manufacturer, it may already be lined up for the coming year.

  • i have this phone but really good. It has bad battery life

  • the specs are good but i think nokia should come up with better designs

  • black is better than beige.its design looks like a cheapo with beige but when it comes to specs, its one of the best!

  • i don't like it

  • HSDPA, 10.2 Mbps yas

  • better design!!!

  • Cool down Folks! The mobile-review site says that you can buy it in 2009 ONLY in selected ASIAN countries...

  • Why does everyone make a big deal about operating systems. An OS is just something else to go wrong with your phone. A phone like this loaded with great features, and no Symbian is a "good thing". One of the most useful tools in Nokia phones is the Go To list (not included in Symbian phones). I want a phone with great features not a computer in my pocket. So stop trying to compare this to N-gage phones. It's better!

  • Waite For 2,3 Months.I Think Its Black Edition Could Be Introduced.

  • No It Is Not A Multi Task Device, But Music Player Can B Minimized.Try All Of The Symbian Mobiles Of Nokia Like N78,5320X Etc...

  • Yeah. This Device Contains A Secondary VGA Camera.And Is Also Better Than 6220.It's One Of The Most Wonderful Hansets Nokia Have Introduced.Try It Then Give Me Opinion About It At [email protected]

  • Its design looks a bit not gud but its abilities r de coolest i can say and its camera is really gud!!!

  • yes they have

  • Thanks about the web

  • Dullllllllllllll!

  • Whats the deal with all the low scores? GPS, Wi-Fi, 320X480 HVGA screen, Stereo Speakers, 3G, & 5MP Carl Zeiss camera. What more could you want from an S40 device??

  • i think its a good phone, however would look better in black. :)

  • i like that mobile.. but therez only two colourz in it.. i want sum different.....

  • does it have a secondary camera for taking pictures??like wat nokia 6220 classic has???pls reply asap..coz im confused on choosing which of those has a dual cam

  • does this phone have multi-task??

  • yes s40 have it all s60 need to install app to have it

  • Thats why i NEVER Get N-Series or Symbian Phones in general....the User-Interface sucks.

  • Its a Dynamic design. Its looks very comfortable for our hands. Even the camera also 5 mpixel another advantage

  • i have 6260 before..but it cdma..hheeheehee

  • To compare the S40 and Symbian 60 some things must be said: I had a Nokia 6230 with the nice S40 and now I have 6120 with the poor Symbian 60. If the Symbian 60 should be the better choice then pls somebody tell me W H Y : - aren't shown the call numbers in the eventlogs? - can't I copy the calendar events? - can't I make the convenient "call" event in the calendar (then to push only one button to call somebody)? - can't I setup a radio-alarm? - can't I set the snoozing time? - can't I switch on snoozing with all but one button when the alarm goes on? - can't I make (provider) free call barring? - and so on, and on, and on... S40 is more user friendly than no question the better choice!!! The 6260 device is ugly enough and unfortunately a slider too, but it has finally all the features to beat back the Symbian 60 to the ground. Be careful Folks, Symbian 60 is marketing pure nothing else!!!

  • so when this phone start to be available and what about the price??? uhmmm.... dont think it can be saleable coz of the design.. :)

  • what an awful design and of course.. the color combinatin also...

  • what the hell....see the design guys....Yukkkk.....but spec. seems to be very cool....

  • OK, now there is some serious problem in Nokias design department

  • I was wondering how much this phone is! How much is it?

  • will this phone have n gage installed?

  • 6260s has an awful design too!

  • I think it is a great phone and it is good that it doesnt have operating system :):):)

  • I was really disappointed when I realized it is an S40, not an S60! It has almost everything, but it lacks the most important - Symbian OS! That is a great disatvantage.

  • This phone isn�t out yet so you can�t talk about if it�s good or not. Yeah maybe Zn5 is better at photos but not everyone likes its design and it has no UMTS.

  • Nice design and shape, but only two color available grey and black. I hope its software like Nokia N 95 or better you can add software program.

  • Looks cool. Nokia has always been a great manufacturer of phones. I use an iPhone now, but have been a Nokia user for a long time.

  • well have'nt used this phone but still I m pretty much sure that its not going to perform better than N82 Bcoz N82 is better in all aspects and overall MOTO ZINE is another better option with better battery backup and stunning camera quality.....and also its one of the fastest phones with 500 MHz processor and dosen't have any hanging probs.... Zine (moto Zn5) has much better looks with scratchproof flat and lusturous body....and most imp the best OS --- that is LINUX......So I will recomend Zn5 to all as a better option....

  • very nice!!!

  • this phone is very bad lookwise because is to copy 6220 and is camera is all bakwas 6220 alredy fail so ur next model is failed 6260

  • yeaaaah!!!!!!!!! who u kiddin man, I got da big doggy do do dong of all time! yeaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!! dat's right, i got da dong, yeaaaaah

  • hey yah man, i got da doggy dong!!!!!!!!!!

  • yeaaaah! that's right, who got the dong, yeaaaah!!!!

  • well as far as the story goes... n95 and n82 have been the kings of imaging...wonder if the 6260 is up to the task? soon we will find out hehehehe ^_^

  • plz tellme 6260 price

  • Best mobile downloads!! Visit adres: ------

  • This is a new S40,read the details it almost as good as an S60 and more customise friendly,plus,i've never seen a higher screen def than that.As for best phone platform,i've tried them all,windows remains the most logical choice but too virus sensitive and crash too often,as to file finding after receiving trough bluetooth,it's a nightmare.Symbian crash much less often and perform faster.But with the 6260,a screen like that plus the 5mp plus the Carl Zeiss lens,SonyE lovers of 8mp with get green with jealousy as their screens are crap.Unless they go around with prints of course.But in black though,the grey colour is dreadful

  • Besides,Samsung has been making camcorders and cameras and tvs and such for ages now,so they must know a thing or 2 about image processing.

  • i know i'm being a nit-picker by saying this (and i hate nit-pickers), but if this thing had a 3.5mm audio jack it would have been abso-tively perfect!

  • Video still 15fps ? Now i will buy N79 for the video recording 30 fps

  • nice!! finally an upgraded s40 phone!!! love s40 phone for being simple and cosumes ess batteries compared to s60.

  • if this phone as the same quality camera as the 6220 classic it will be a very popular phone to buy

  • actually,it's more about the size of the CCD,the bigger the better,AND the quality of the lens.no need to be a tech nerd,look at the most expensive cams and most sought after by pros,the SLR,the cam body is huge and lenses can go up to 10 times the body cam size and up to 50 times the price.So cram a little of everything in a small package like a phone and you'll only get average pics,which i don't mind,as long as the screen of that phone is superb enough to enjoy them.

  • S60 offers you a more programmable platform to work with as opposed to S40 which is more personolizable, my god,beautiful words.S60 offers you to run dif apps together while you can't have that with S40 and that's a pain.I've had the 2 platforms and i can't say i've found enough really good programs to boast about to prefer an S60 over an S40.While the S40 is a treat for wallpapers for instance,just chose the pic and voila,you have it full screen,while with the S60 you need to pass the pic through a theme making process,and if you chose an animation for wallpaper,know that the top and bottom of that pic won't move at all.So to conclude,i'm quite interested in this new S40 because so far,S40 has been for girls and S60 for guys.Is this a sexist comment ? no,girls tend to still want plain and simple phones with particularly good looks but leave their phone rarely in the open,while guys go crazy about what they can do with their new piece of tech.

  • Have you even SEEN the pictures the Samsung INNOV8 takes??? They beat any 5 or 8Mpx phone so far. GSMARENA even agreed...

  • 8MP are better.

  • in response to the individual who wants nokia to produce an 8mp phone: the truth is, the quality of the 5mp photos from nokia devices such as the n95 and n82 is better than those taken with the 8mp cams that samsung has released. remember,the number of mp dictates the size of the photo, and although this may mean slight improvement in quality due to more pixels, quality is mostly derived from proper settings and photo processing.

  • its nice but i still pref the n95 or the 6500 slide

  • There is no way to get around battery loss through the use of WiFi or GPS. Also, S60 is the Symbian smartphone OS on most N-series phones. The S40 is the simpler Nokia OS like on the 6300 etc..

  • dear friends i think nokia has done something well, because in first time in s40 has all the features of n-series like 5mp, wi-fi gps etc and its suppport all the software of series-60 and reply again me from ankit mb-9967178349

  • i think this h/s gone be flope. bec this h/s is same like n6220 wich is big flope model

  • does it waste battery when using Wi-Fi / taking photo with the 5MP camera? what's the different between s40 & s60? hope to see reply. thx.

  • yes u are right i wrote it when there was no n97. now i think i can love nokia, but i want nokia to produce 8MP sets as as soon as possible.but again u R right.thank u

  • WOW 320 x 480 pixels with 16M colors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.1, 3G HSDPA- 10.2 Mbps, 5 MP, Stereo speakers, A-GPS, TV Out, 200 MB internal memory this is cool man

  • Hey consumer. camera on phones are just for random shooting and 5mp is enough for a full A4 size photo print. if you want high resolution cams for Professional photography. just get a Canon Digital IXUS. how unprofessional if one uses their mobile for pro photography. remember a phone is a phone not a DSLR Camera.

  • shame for nokia caz other brands are introducing 8MP and nokia has a new set again 5MP but s40!! nokia is just trying to confuse consumers.how ever i like nokia and using n82 but n79.n85. and this model has worse camera quality.nokia wont go ahead too much by S60 and N series caz these days people prefer real mobile phones with greater camera pixel and really new design and novalties.samsung and lg and sony might have a better chance since they are producing digital cameras . pcs and ... nokia cant trust just on S60 and programs any more. android and .. make nokia focus on other parts. thats why nokia is again trying hard to sell and produce low end sets.and u can see bunch of nokia mobiles available in the market or introducing just too keep the market. nokia try to fight just by technology and fair.dont confuse us any more.mobile is not any more a S60 or S40

  • It looks gr8 and the 5mp camera is really fantastic the only disadvantage its not a nseries!!!

  • This is a great one from Nokia and it is so inviting. Ride on more power to your technology and wish i could get one directly from nokia. YOU ARE THE NUMBER ONE IN THE PRODUCTION OF EXOTIC, POWERFUL, LASTING, DURABLE PHONES. If out you can mail me on [email protected] maybe i could get one. thanks

  • s40 nowadays very similar to s60 this phone n 7610s,7510s,6600s,6600f,3600s can play WMV, ask you, got any java phone in the market can play WMV??? for XP/Vista user, just use the window movie maker can convert the video to WMV by the way, this phone also internal a FLASH LITE V3, can surf youtube directly not youtube mobile

  • 10.2 mbps for HSDPA? Typing mistake or reality?

  • Telstra nextG runs @14.4 at the moment, but is on 850mhz band, so nokia miss the mark again

  • of course you can get a spare battery d bag - when its released!

  • Cool display..... Wow..

  • it will have spare battery, The BL-5F is also used for the popular Nokia N95.

  • it wont work�

  • hey dude, its not waste. producing phones with 3G support is a plus. countries such as Korea and Japan uses only UMTS 2100mhz band, so even you have a Quad-Band GSM phone it work work there. it only supports 3G for voice and data. so having a Dual Mode (GSM + 3G) phone is always better.

  • I think you are out of your senses and not upto date for your information nokia does not design and sell a phone for a particular country I know there are many mobile operators who are upgrading there networks to 14.4Mbps and beyond to HSPA+

  • well this fone is obviously an upgrade from the nokia 6600 slide bit well improved better camera, wifi etc (check specs).bitt its gonna retail roud �299 or less cause theres 8 megapixels on the market going for $350

  • Are you really silly enough to believe that Nokia would create a phone without enabling people to buy a spare battery for it? Besides, the phone hasn't even been released yet. So, of course the BL-5F wbepage isn't going to mention it.

  • its NOT imitation. nokia isn't creative nowadays.. (N81's design used on N96, N85, also 3600 slide, 6600slide, 6210 nav, it has a same design!) not only RESOULTION change, it has improved VOIP.. also S40 6th edition.. i've tried the SDK, the browser is quite confusing unlike other symbian phone.. maybe that's because it's S40

  • good features bt d fone luk so dam ugly

  • WOW 320x480 coooool

  • First off, the battery is very okay. This is s40, not s60. I have a nokia 5610xm which has a 900mah battery and it lasts for a good 4 days. Secondly, nokia phones that use the 950mah battery like n95, 6210navigator, etc (except n96) can also use the 1200mah battery found in n78, n79, etc. The battery life of the 6260slide is duly covered.

  • Don't buy this phone. You may not get spare battery. Highlight this link (and right click--> choose copy and then paste it in address bar in browser and press enter key) to know how much models does the battery BL-5F supports : You will be shocked !!!!!!!!!!.

  • Waste phone. Most of the networks in the world do not have 3G. In this condition, what is the use of releasing 3G phone that too with 10.2 Mbps speed?. No use of introducing WiFi in mobiles. If Nokia goes on introducing this much high end phone with high price, no common man will buy and then it will run in BANKRUPT and finally shutdown like Siemens mobile sales in India. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!!!!.

  • its a beautiful phone, just i was wanting for.

  • it is the 6220 classic but slide an without symbian very nice phone

  • s40 revolution yeah

  • Is the screen HVGA ( 320 x 480 ) are better compare to ( 352 x 416 ) screen in Nokia N90, N80 & E70???

  • the right spelling is bang & olufsen...

  • I agree, phone can't have everything. If you guys want everything, go home and log on to your highspeed PC, next to SLR camera, Bang&Wolfsen stero, and a Land-lind phone. lol. Should cost about $10k? I'm happy with my S40 series phone, does what it should. Tried Iphone, but I'm not into using both of my hands on a phone with constant attention required, when it's in my pocket. But I'm considering switching to fashionable phones, like LG. Anyone else second me? Nokia, truely reliable and great brand, I just need some change...lol

  • And in terms of build-quality, the 6500 slide would be a great example.

  • A phone can't have everything! This phone is a huge improvement in terms of features, especially when you consider that this is an S40 device! However, the design is disgusting. Nokia should really work on improving their designs and the build-quality of their phones.

  • Nice thing, but why low video recording quality??? Every new N-series gets VGA @30fps, But this one only 15fps. But except this thing every thing else is great!!

  • same thing reapiting . material similar to 6210 nav cheap finishing.but speci ok....(wifi,5 mega,internal memory ok)

  • yes,it should be the new Nseries instead of its S40 the other features has the criteria of becoming a smartphone futhermore,the screen resolution size is the new revolution!!

  • why not full vga screen????????look at old sharps such 904sh...long time ago,noki still want save money on customers,cheap scratchable plastic on n95 958gb and plenty others

  • No No NO!! Nokia went and destroyed the face of the 6210 NAV with this cheap immitation? Just screen RES changed? what a waste, what happened?? Did the new designer DIE or something??

  • 3.5 MM you mean I gues. The specs look good, the design isnt really my taste.

  • Like As Nokia 6210 Navigator! This is a S40 Phone Of 6210 Series

  • 2.4" 16M 320X480 HVGA screen make this phone different from those cheap n outdated 2.4" 256K 240X320 QVGA

  • pretty good specs - thumbs up to nokia... Queer resolution though and only s40? Processor no good perhaps?

  • Now this is a NICE phone!!! I do admit, I don't like the design of it...but it's got everything that N-series would have, but it's not N-series, hence I suspect it will be much cheaper price region. This phone definately wins my vote, but CRAP design. lol

  • Who the heck is rating this at a 7.0? Come on... you've got to be kidding me. This phone is great!

  • i hope nokia will combine all these features into just 1phone unit with an average price.. 12megapixel camera,30fps videocamera,3G 14.4,wi fi,touchscreen w/handwriting recognition in a 4.0inch lcd(tft 16M w/accelerometer) and side sliding full QWERTY keyboard,high internal(30gb or 60gb) and external memory(micro sd up to 8gb or 16gb),has WinMO 7.0,long life battery standby(1000hrs)and talktime(15-20hrs),and scratch/water proof cover

  • Why so ugly boring design? Oh i forgot.. because it's Nokia phone.

  • I'm not too keen on the design; looks too much like the N95/96 whose keypads suck.

  • Impressive specs. Although I am still baffled as to why Nokia insists on a 2.5-mm audio jack. Why not 3.5mm? RIM has been doing it for ages! Why inconvenience the consumer with having to purchase an adapter, just so better earphones could be used? If they must insist on this, why not include the adapter as part of the sales kit? Sony Ericsson has been doing it. Nokia, just stick a 3.5mm audio jack in your phones and be done with it!

  • I really like this phone. I'm not using S40 anymore (my last phone was a 6230 but I upgraded to S60 last year) but this phone has everything most people want. I think the screen'll be a pleasure to watch, only imagine an iPod touch resolution screen but shrinked to 2.4 inches, just awesome!

  • it should be better if it has 2.5mm jack.

  • Wifi on s40 is just as good as any s60 phone with opera mobile... Well done nokia for bringing wifi to more handsets (im writing this off my nokia 6300i :P )

  • one word for that phone ultimately cool!

  • how s40 6th what change in s40

  • Really Fantastic I like it

  • again same nokia design old design nothing new just old old old design

  • no symbian button = no multitasking = sucks!!!!

  • Lol, i dont even use my phone for video recording so i aint fussed!

  • I totally agree wif kevin..S40 is really handy n fast..no fear of viruses..This is sure de sweetest S40 slider i've even seen from Nokia..Bravo!Nokia

  • a newer n better version of nokia 6600 slide haha. Keep it up nokia

  • Very interesting Mobile. One of the best Nokia's phone ever.

  • it'special

  • 3G isn't useless and expensive, for instance its sometimes the only way to get the internet and many providers and quite reasonable these days.

  • shame on nokia........ Battery life was one of the most troublesome aspects of this phone..after the 1200 mAh BL-6F, i cannot believe Nokia went back to it.

  • shameless se fan, the video recorder quality of their 5MP even a old-device N93 also can't beat you shall use computer to watch the photo instead of using the SMALL outdated screen to viewing it

  • small screen size. if the size of screen would b little large in size then i would buy it soon.

  • why cant nokia take a look of sony ericsson and give a better look this is same as going on about 4 years old design

  • not bad, looks really great, for the new s40.. s40 is one of the easiest o.s. to use and no problem with viruses, very fast. if you're not a symbian freak or a person who loves to install applications for s60, this phone might fit you.. nway, linux sucks. hahaha

  • Yep 3G is important! I cannot use 2G handsets with my provider, the USIM won't allow its use!

  • quite cute sliding phone :)

  • super S40 deice!!!...

  • very fast 3G.

  • Who cares? Is 3G really that important? It's completely useless and expensive. Wi-fi is far more better.

  • dude, SE's cameraphone was beaten by Samsung and Nokia (N95 and N82). don't you read all the reviews/comparisons/shoot-outs on the internet? please do some research before posting any comments. SE is going down. that's the fact!

  • 320 x 480 pixels, Wifi, and 5MP camera? wow, those're new for S40 device!

  • The specification page is wrong. It does 900/1900/2100 in HSDPA. See:

  • no,they have 7710 and 7700.they'r touchsreen

  • Keypad section from 6220 Classic Display/D-Pad section from 6220 Classic But design(Slider) is identical to 6600 Slide

  • This phone really proves that nokia is the worst in term of phone design.. it looks exactly the same as the cheap and old 6600 slide. Moreover, the back and the keypad looks like the 6220 classic. WHAT A SHAME..

  • Only HSDPA 2100? Not buying. NAM version please :)

  • Video is always bad with S40, same with this one 15fps. Better buy N79

  • The 5MP's SE's are better.

  • Not everybody wants touchscreen or those super-slim things SE are making lately. I like this new 6260 Slide myself, and may buy one about six months after it's released.

  • i don't get nokias there good and reliable, but theres no edge, it doesn't look modern and nearly all the phones look the same, and they only have 1 touchscreen phone

  • cheap looking keypad

  • 5 MP with a 15fps video is a bad thing

  • Yeah it is abit of a modified 6600 Slide

  • It seems a modified version of 6500 Slide . Only more camera megapixel & Wi-Fi . Nothing Else . Will u guys disagree with me ??? Give some reply .

  • SORRY to tell you, the screen k850 doesn't have 320x480 RESOLUTION BUT 240X320, AND THE SCREEN color of k850 is 256K NOT 16M K850 CANNOT record VGA(640X480) BUT QVGA(240X320) k850/all SONY ERICSSON 5MP camera quality already worst enough, don't even compare it to NOKIA 5MP phone

  • important problem is...it just 299USD price, guys! you yell nothing with this price.

  • bluetooth 2.1 ?? not 2.0 ? a new thing ! cool

  • Ok Linux, but what about GPS on Linux ?

  • Go for the SE k850, its has got everything here plus Xenon flash, Accelerometer. Forget GPS and Wifi, the battery is too weak to hold them for even 15 mins !!!

  • S40 is such a bad platform... really dont mind,,,,,, symbian is far far better than S40 this mobile is not gonna be success may be... but nokia seems like releasing it at 600-700 US $ which is worse price for such a fone... HTC fones with better features and far better WINDOWS OS are already available in market with VGA display, low weight and superior performence (600 Mhz) @ 450$-500$ Sony Ericsson Xperia which is already in stores at about 750 - 800 US $ which is far far far more superior HTC advantage @ 950 USD HTCtOUCH PRO AT 700 USD HTC Shift @ 1300 USD Motorola ZN5 at just 320 USD is a better fone than this one... beats it even if it is available @ 500 USD So dear nokia sorry for the CRAP.... I hate u... because you have announced an INSANE FONE these are real high end fones

  • It should be more like 6220 slide.

  • If you dont want the phone, get an n79, n82, 6210 or 6220c. They are around the same price bracket. Secondly, if they did like you asked, im sure there will be someone else complaining of nokia duplicating their already existing phones. Besides, i think this is a great step up for s40 phones. At least it comes with wifi, a good screen, a good camera, gps and many other goodies. Stop focusing on what it doesnt have and be thankful for the goodies it has.

  • It's like the 6220 Classic (but without S60, a Xenon flash and poor bettary life) in a slider form factor with a better screen resolution. Some people will like that - I do! Some people will want 6220 Classic features with S40 instead - I do! ;) Currently listening to: Bad Brains - Quickness

  • i still dont get nokia, i think this phone just the slide version of 6220 classic, no 3.5mm jack, s40 user system(whick sucks for me), 15 fps, same crapy keypad of 6220(looks cheap), no accelerometer, kind of boring everyday design with a rear of same 6220, nokia has finaly lost the "it" factor, there are much better phones of nokia of same price series.... this phone does not make any sence. Nokia you could have done better than this.....it has all the signs of becoming the flop of the year!!!!!! This what i felt after seeing it!

  • 5 MP in S40. but it is not bad

  • There are no best than Linux Operating System s80 + s60 + s40 < Linux

  • All this features and s40 ???? I can not belive

  • no accelerometer and only 15fs ....why nokia....why?

  • S40 isn't symbian, symbian is s60 or s90

  • Yes it is, I agree. NICE thank you Nokia! iv always wanted a S40 - N95 features phone

  • This is the s40 version of n95

  • It looks cool with 5 mp camera, but its design is same as 6600 slide, This model will really rock the party, 6260 Carry on Nokia....

  • good thing nokia decided to make the right resolution to a 2.4 inch screen. i mean the nokia n96 has a 2.8 inch screen but it only have a 230x320 res. so it looks bit bad. GO 6260!!!

  • Im the first to comment this phone. It definitely looks ugly. Nokia should think better on creating new & different phones, i dont understand why they are repeating same models, with new features?? They are just releasing the phones that they want, they are not bothered about the user.

  • nice specs.. ^_^

  • holy sh*t net speed 10,2 mbps that allways means that other companys will realese speed up to 14,4 mbps

  • resolution of 320 x 480 pixels (HVGA)

  • Nice phone. When I get tired of my 6500 Slide I might buy this as a replacement.

  • nice 6260 slide s40 6260 flip s60 mah @ss

  • Look Great....Lot of Features....

  • no symbian os SH*t

  • stupid bad fone.... only 15 fps.... it suxxx sure flop what the hell is it nokia???

  • S40 ISSSSSS symbian dude :laughsoutloudbigtime:

  • Love how Nokia is still keeping up its feature packed pwnage spree. This phone kills with its features, and I'm supposing it would be too exepnsive, its not like an N series. If this runs on S40 I would be disappointed, as Symbian is so much more versatile and stable. Still dont like the design of their new keypads... they look really odd.

  • this phone is really going to be xpen$ive when it comes out: good camera, 480 by 320 pixels!!!!!! That is sooooo good graphics! think abou it. don't you yhink so?

  • nice phone. 1st to post. yehey!
